Philosophy is a complex and fascinating field of study that deals with fundamental ideas and concepts. Here are ten common philosophical concepts that everyone should be familiar with.

Philosophical Concepts You Should Know

Plato was the first to separate the "world of things" from the "world of ideas." Ideas are the underlying reality of any particular object, and the world of ideas is more fundamental and real than the world of objects.

Plato's Theory of Ideas

Introspection is a way of achieving self-knowledge by observing internal reactions to events in the external world. It helps to examine beliefs and provides a complete picture of the relationship between thoughts and actions.

The Concept of Introspection

Solipsism is the belief that only a person's perception of reality and their thoughts are available to them, while the entire external world is beyond the bounds of certainty.

Solipsism

A religious and philosophical concept that attempts to vindicate God's existence in the face of evil and suffering. It is often asked why God allows evil to exist if He is omnipotent and good.

Theodicy

This philosophical concept denies the existence of absolute moral standards and categories, recognizing that morality is a relative concept.

Moral Relativism

A philosophical concept in ethics that suggests treating others as you want to be treated. It emphasizes the importance of considering others as the ultimate goal rather than as a means to an end.

Categorical Imperative or the Golden Rule of Morality

The belief that everything is predetermined and that free will does not exist, or the belief in the possibility of free will and the uncertainty of predetermined outcomes.

Determinism/Indeterminism

A philosophical concept originates from Rene Descartes: "I think, therefore I am." It proclaims the dominant position of the subject and serves as the metaphysical basis of modern philosophy.

Cogito Ergo Sum

A phrase coined by Friedrich Nietzsche signifies the death of God as a fact in traditional society and the end of the Christian worldview. It led to a crisis in the value system and the rise of postmodernity

"God Is Dead"

A feeling of anxiety and despair associated with the loss of the meaning of life. It is often provoked by difficult situations, uncertainty, illness, or life upheavals.

Existential Crisis

Philosophy delves into timeless questions about the meaning of life, the nature of good and evil, and the concept of justice. Though answers vary, understanding fundamental philosophical concepts is crucial. Here are ten key ideas everyone should know, regardless of their educational background.

10 Philosophical Concepts You Should Know

The criticism proper betrays such poverty of ideas and such atrophy of sensibility that men who ought to preserve their critical ability for the improvement of their own creative work are tempted into criticism.

Introduction

<ul><li>When there is so much to be known,</li><li>When there are so many fields of knowledge in which the same words are used with different meanings, </li><li>When every one knows a little about a great many things.</li></ul>It becomes increasingly difficult for anyone to know whether he knows what he is talking about or not.

When...

The writer of present essay (1920/1950) once committed himself to the statement that, "The poetic critic is criticizing poetry in order to create poetry."

The two latter have gusto, but gusto is no equivalent for taste; it depends too much upon the appetite and the digestion of the feeder.

Gusto

A man of ideas needs ideas, or pseudo-ideas, to fight against.

Ideas and Pseudo-Ideas

In English writing we seldom speak of tradition, though we occasionally apply its name in deploring its absence. We can not refer to "the tradition" or to "a tradition". At most, wee employ the adjective in saying that the poetry of so-and-so is "traditional" or even "too traditional". Seldom, perhaps, does the word appear except in a phrase of censure. If otherwise, it is vaguely approbative, with the implication, as to the work approved, of some pleasing archaelogical reconstruction.

Tradition

Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.

The Poetry, Not the Poet

From the point of view of literature, the drama is only among several poetic forms. The epic, the ballad, the chanson de geste, the forms of Provence and of Tuscany, all found their perfection by serving particular societies.

Poetic Drama

The Elizabethan Age in England was able to absorb a great quantity of new thoughts and new images, almost dispensing with tradition, because it had this great form of its own which imposed itself on everything that came to it.Consequently, the blank verse of their pays accomplished a subtlety and consciousness.

The Elizabethan Age

Qua work of art, the work of art can not be interpreted. There is nothing to interpret. We can only criticize it according to standards, in comparison to other works of art; and for "interpretation" the chief task is the presentation of relevant historical facts which the reader is not assumed to know.

The Work of Art

The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an "objective correlative". In other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion. Such that when external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.

Objective Correlative

English criticism is inclined to argue or persuade rather than to state. Instead of forcing the subject to expose himself, these critics have left in their work an undissolved residuum of their own good taste, which, however impeccable, is something that requires our faith.

Argue and Persuade vs. State

It is important that the artist should be highly educated in his own art; but his education is one that is hindered rather than helped by the ordinary processes of society which constitute education for the ordinary man.

Education

Without doubt, the effort of the philosopher proper, the man who is trying to deal with ideas themselves, and the effort of the poet, who may be trying to realize ideas, can not be carried on at the same time.

Philosopher

" 'I am a poet, ' he said, and one, I hope, of no mean imagination, if one can reckon at all by crowns of honour, which gratitude can set even on unworthy heads. 'Why are you so badly dressed, then?' you ask. For that very reason. The worship of genius never made a man rich." -Petronius, Satyricon (54 AD) The Sacred Wood-Essays on Poetry and Criticism (1920) is T. S. Eliot's first book of criticism. It contains opinions of writers such as Shakespeare and Dante and some of Eliot's most influential essays, including Tradition and the Individual Talent and Philip Massinger.

50 Rare Words That Are Useful to Know

In a surprising twist of history, African trumpeter John Blanke found himself a favorite in Tudor England's royal court, performing for none other than King Henry VIII. Blanke, mentioned in surviving records, earned triple the wages of a servant and a pay raise, indicating his valued role as a musician.

In the Court of Kings: John Blanke's Musical Journey

Blanke likely arrived in England via Spain in 1501 with Catherine of Aragon, the future queen. Musical influences often traveled through wedding parties and dowries, making Blanke a striking member of the entourage.

The Spanish Connection: Blanke's Probable Roots

Long before Blanke's time, African musicians entered Europe through the Iberian Peninsula, documented since the Muslim conquest. Western music's multicultural roots are evident, with influences from Africa shaping song styles and even the evolution of instruments like the lute.

Multicultural Melodies: Africa's Impact on Western Music

From Ziryab's music school in 9th-century Córdoba to New Orleans jazz, the migration of instruments, song styles, and even music schools from Africa to Europe was significant. The legacy of Afro-European music may have largely vanished, but traces remain in the works of pioneers like Vicente Lusitano.

Cultural Migration: Instruments, Styles, and Music Schools

Lusitano, a Portuguese musician of African origins, lived an extraordinary life, serving as a priest in Rome and later residing in Germany as a Protestant. Rediscovered in the 21st century, <a href="https://youtu.be/0RRhiywl1Mc">his music</a> finally entered the classical repertoire 500 years after his birth.

Rediscovering History: Vicente Lusitano's Musical Journey

Western song styles became dominant because they were the most multicultural musical idioms in the world. Remember that the next time people attack this music for its lack of diversity. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Western music has always been multicultural.
